It likes the sunny rocky areas near a river, but it also likes the semi-urban and desert areas.

The body might have different colors, but the predominant color is black with yellow diamonds and V shapes. The answer to the question are Timber rattlers poisonous is yes because of the rattlers.

		<description><![CDATA[As we are soon approaching the season of &#8220;snakes and spiders&#8221; a fellow spider victim wrote a comment regarding the Black Widow Spider and how he was bitten. He goes on to warn you of the dangers of this spider and I am posting it here so all may be warned. The comment would remain hidden in the comments section and I think this fellows story is worth posting for everyone. Take care this spring and summer. Thanks to the comment poster! Quote: &#8220;Just to post a warning to those who come into contact with a Black Widow. About 7 years ago I was bitten by Black Widow that was no bigger than a dime right on my left wrist while draining my automotive shop air tank moisture valves. When I saw what it was and only because I felt a little sting and pulled my arm back and smacked it off my wrist and it hit the ground upside down. For a second I thought, damn I’m in big trouble, then cooler heads prevailed and I figured do to the size that a tiny amount of venom wouldn’t do much, You know the MOCHO manly attitude of it can’t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Although the diamondback rattlesnake can be commonly found in Kansas, recent reports stated the presence of the diamond rattlesnake in Kentucky. As we are talking about a venomous snake that could be easily mistaken with other non-venomous species, it is mandatory to know a few facts about this dangerous reptile. The diamond rattlesnake in Kentucky looks like a simple rattlesnake, but it is bigger. Studies are trying to determine if this is the result of climate changes. We are talking about an established specie of snakes in United States, but the appearance of this snake in Kentucky raised the curiosity of the specialists, especially because it seems like this specie of rattlesnake has some uncommon characteristics. The diamond rattlesnake in Kentucky has a length of 3 feet, but the adults can grow larger. As the snake is new in Kentucky, it is impossible to determine its life duration. As for the harmful proprieties of the venom, although this snake releases a bigger quantity with the bite, it has the same harmful effect. It is better to prevent a bite of this kind, as some of the antivenin options are not so effective. It is rumored that the diamondback rattlesnake was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Brown Recluse Spider is what Scares Californians the Most (But should it?) Ask the average Californian to list the spiders which scare him or her most, the list would probably look something like this; Tarantula – kind of scary Tarantulas are well known because some can be as big a single wide trailers and have legs as hairy as a middle-aged, gypsy can-can dancer. They also have fangs which makes them kind of like the Edward Cullens of the insect world. There are found in California. Are they scary? Sure, to some people. If you have a fear of spiders bigger is defiantly scarier and tarantulas are big. But if you know anything about spiders you would know that while they do have poison, they can’t kill you with a bite unless you’re highly allergic to it. For most people, tarantula bites are on par with a bee sting. Black Widow – really scary Swimming after eating, texting while driving and black widow spiders are a few of the things your mother will warn you about. They should, because the Black Widow spider is the most poisonous spider in North America and commonly found in California. The good news, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Everyone and their brother is afraid of the dreaded venomous snake bite when they see a snake. While it is true that some snakes are highly venomous and can kill you, the odds of this happening are very slim indeed. There are a number of reasons for this, and among them is what is called a dry bite. This is a snake bite where the snake does not actually inject any venom into the bite site. Among snakes there are venomous and nonvenomous types. The venomous snakes are the primary dangers, and the vast majority of them are broken into the elapids and the vipers. Among nonvenomous snakes, the only real dangers are the huge constrictors. Their bites deliver no venom, but can cause infection and the larger constrictors can kill via suffocation. Among venomous snakes, the most common in the United States are the vipers. The only elapid in the US is the coral snake. The vipers are your rattlesnakes, cottonmouths, and copperheads. Vipers are noted by having large hypodermic like fangs that are hinged. When the snake strikes outwardly, they then stab the victim and inject venom. Among the vipers, dry bites are somewhat unusual. It has been [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In South America, we think of jungles and rainforests, and we think of snakes. South America has some of the most fascinating snakes in the world, and some of the most dangerous as well. Venomous snakes in South America are found in all the various habitats, and do come into contact with people on occasion. Here is a look at several venomous South American snakes: Common Mussurana &#8211; This venomous reptile can be found throughout the bulk of South America, and grows to about 7 feet in length. They are found primarily in forestlands near water, and they are often seen swimming in the river. They are rear fanged snakes that are only mildly venomous. Among venomous pet snakes, this one is a common target for owners. Lancehead &#8211; Commonly called a fer-de-lance, the lancehead is among the most dangerous snakes in the world. Though their venom is not the most powerful in the world by any means, they are around people. Lots of people. This leads to a large number of snakebites, and the bite is a serious enough one to kill. Because of this, the South American population fears this snake. They are great at hiding in camo, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Copperhead snakes are among the most common venomous snakes in North America. They are found all over the country, and are dangerous if they bite us. The vast majority of people bitten by a copperhead snake will not die, but they will experience serious pain and swelling. Still, any snake bite deserves immediate medical treatment. This is an assortment of copperhead snake videos that I have found on YouTube. I hope you enjoy these copperhead videos as much as I have. Now on with the videos!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The python trapper that was caught staging the capture of a giant python faces some serious charges in Florida. The whole idea behind the python release and capture was supposedly about bringing some important attention to the problem of exotic animals being released into the wild. The problem is, the animal was released by the trapper himself. While the python trapper certainly went about it the wrong way, his message of pythons and other dangerous animals being released into the Florida wild is very valid. Every year, people in Florida and other parts of the United States release these animals as they become too difficult to keep as pets. The truth is, they should never have been pets in the first place. Pythons, for example have been released in the Everglades. These pythons have already reproduced and now number in the estimated tens of thousands. When you consider that larger pythons such as the rock python and reticulated python are capable of killing a full grown man, the danger becomes apparent. That is not the only danger, however. They also eat all of the food in the area and cause the local wildlife to suffer. In extreme cases, they can [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Along the open woodlands and grasslands of Northern Australia, one can find a very dangerous snake called the taipan. The taipan is among the most venomous snakes in the world, and has the capabilities to kill humans with a single bite, sometimes in as little as thirty minutes. What truly makes the taipan dangerous, however, is the fact that they are highly aggressive biters. Taipans have been known to literally throw themselves into their bites. They strike with such ferocity that it sometimes appears that they are lunging. When you combine that ferocity with the potent venom that the taipan has, you can quickly see why it has earned the reputation of one of the deadliest snakes in the world. The taipan is generally about five feet in length and they have a variable coloration. They can be sand colored or even jet black depending on a number of factors. They usually eat small mammals. An interesting note about the taipan is that they became very prolific due to the poison toads that were introduced into Australia. Because many frog eating snakes died when they ingested these toads, the taipan had less competition for habitat and food. Because of this, [...]]]></description>
